Freedom
Awakened
burst forth
as freedom rings
alive
freely receive
freely give
from deep within
deep calls
sacrificial
lives were laid
in blood
before the graves
covered by
broad stripes and bright stars
proof in the perilous fight
our flag is still here
sparklers
s’mores
campfire shores
freedom rings in air
songs and sighs of days gone by
parades of celebration
and the rockets red glare
the bombs bursting in air
run freely here
and dream in peace
here in the
home of the brave
Patricia Spreng
Happy 4th of July at One Shot Sunday where you will find the wonderful words of poets.
